    Is that the reason you ended up with the MKVI GTI then?

      Lambos are all about being over the top/lary though, so it's fitting.

      Personally I think lambos have both everything a sports car should - and shouldn't have...

      Made to go, and go well, but the styling is for people who need to tell the world how rich they are. I think they're vulgar....

          haha yeah yeah yeah... I could have seen that coming from a mile off..... I shoulda known before I posted it!

          Well I reckon the interior is nice. Looks bloody good to me.

          If I bought a Mk6 GTI as a second car, would you then consider my opinion more worthy?

          If I bought a Mk6 GTI it wouldn't stay stock for long though.. haha....

            Lol, and nothing to do you you buying a pirelli of course....

            Anyway who cares it personal taste, which is exactly that personal....

            As for Lambos I agree they are exactly what a sports car should be and what they shouldnt be, up there with the Zonda in over the top in your face look at me'ism

              Engines S3 - Pirelli:



              Very similar - same turbo / fuel system etc.

              BIG DIFFERENCE:

              Compression ratio, the S3 has lower compression than the Pirelli (ED30), therefore a little more timing & boost & bingo - more HP.

              Also the intercooler is ever so slightly different in thickness

              Both are awesome engines

                Well there you go...

                What's used to give different compression ratios guy (in terms of hardware)...

                  Guys,

                  I think you will find that the difference comes down to the engine code which the ecu uses. The Pirelli / S3 / TTS and golf R will all have different ecu code which is why when they are in tuned form they differ. Ultimately it is the same engine with very slight differences which Guy can probably elaborate more on.

                  I don't beleive the Pirelli was entirely just to run out the last few thousand GTI's as this engine is going into the golf R and it may have been the basis for initial testing prior to the MkVI.

                  The standard MKVI GTI is a completely different engine to the new Golf R.

                    Hey George long time no speak.

                    Sorry I meant to say Mk5/GTI Shells, not engines.. Obviously the engine would continue in the S3 and now onto the R......

                    I know the pirelli didn't make it to the UK or the US.. They were having a big cry about it at the time.. Of course we didn't get the Edn 30's.....

                      Kryten,

                      Get that car of your's back out to the track, we are still waiting.

                      There was a Yellow 2 door at Eastern Creek about 4 wks ago which was completely stock. His best run on the night was a 13.9s 1/4 mile.

                        How's this for a value buy Would make me think twice about a MKVI GTI stocker. If you dont want the gadgets then go for the basic car with a few Ks on it then if you think it needs touching up then you've got 10 large in your pocket to play with!

                          But be warned if you get the bug, $10k won't last you long!

                            Wow that's a bloody good buy. Mine was loaded up with every option available on the pirelli (sat nav, xenons, rear parkers and is a 5 door) but it cost a clear $20k more than that.... That's a bargain.

                            No comments about the yellow guys. It's hot.

                              I think the colour scheme inside and out is great, if only I could unload the TSI for 40k

                                If I had the wampum I'd buy this one, keep it stock and go fully loco on my existing car... Strip it out, turbo it up.

                                Instead I'm humming and harring a project polo. I've seen some pretty hot stuff done to those too.... Getting crazy numbers out of them.
